Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach
I highly recommend making the trek up to Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, especially if your kids are having sea turtle withdrawals. Loggerhead focuses on sea turtle research, rehabilitation and education with some solid ocean conservation thrown in for good measure.
Upgrade your experience by booking a private tour to learn about the center and its inhabitants. Tour highlights include the on-site hospital, research laboratory, educational exhibits and aquariums. You’ll love seeing those baby turtles!
